Poulin makes a really nice organic feed. It's $28.00 for 50lbs though.

Sure..just open the gate and let them out.

Just a note to say that I dislike Nutrena. A friend gave me a bag when she gave me her last surviving chicken (HEY... anyone want a Dominique? She's happy to be at the bottom of the pecking order and is pretty good about being held.) That stuff STINKS and makes their poop smell nasty.

I'd like to find an organic layer feed within a reasonable driving distance from my house and would be thrilled if Azure started coming this way... until then I'm sticking with Purina - they put marigolds and unicorns in their feed so that the chickens poop marshmallows and buttercups.

If you only want a few chicks you might be able to get them locally. You'll soon start to form a wish list and then you can ask us where to get them. If there is not a local source for what you want, you might be able split an order with someone. But first you need to do the research. Go visit other chicken people. Ambler Farm in Wilton has chickens, and John Jay Homestead in Bedford NY is doing a beginning Back Yard Chicken class this weekend I believe.

I get it from Dick Farrell in Bethany, CT.

Poulin has a website and if you go there I believe there is a button you click that says: Find a dealer? I'm not 100% sure though sorry

Tina,
On route 63 In Bethany, CT Dick Farrell has the organic feed. You do have to order it from him in advance b/c he will not stock that item. Reason being there are not preservatives and he wants to sell the freshest he can get for you
